Ellender eyes redemption, revenge
March 2, 2017A 28-year-old man was shot on Mardi Gras Day at a Houma McDonald’s.
Terrebonne Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said authorities were called to the fast food restaurant, located at 1709 Martin Luther King Boulevard at around 6:30 p.m. in reference to gunshots at the restaurant.
When deputies arrived, no one was able to give a description of what happened. The store manager only said that a gunshot was heard, but no visible damage was done to the restaurant or surrounding property.
About 15 minutes after responding to the scene, TPSO got a call that a gunshot victim had arrived at Terrebonne General.
Authorities then reported to the hospital and discovered that a 28-year-old victim from Thibodaux had been shot in the thigh.
He allegedly told authorities that he walked out of the McDonald’s and saw a group of black males in the parking lot. He then said he heard a gunshot, but didn’t see the shooter.
He told authorities that someone put him in a vehicle and drove him to the hospital, dropping him off there.
Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to call TPSO at (985) 876-2500.
Information leading to an arrest may make someone eligible for a cash reward.
